About this blog:
Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Redwood City gets Starbucks Reserve Bar
Uploaded: Nov 3, 2016
Redwood City's latest caffeine option is a new Starbucks "Reserve bar," which serves rare, small-batch coffee from the company’s first-ever
Reserve Roastery in Seattle.
The new Starbucks is now open at 2227 Broadway St., just across from Courthouse Square. Customers can taste the premium beans through a variety of brewing methods — Clover-brewed, pour-over, cold brew, nitro cold brew, coffee press, Chemex or siphon. (Don’t panic; the cafe still serves pumpkin spice lattes and cake pops.)
The Reserve concept is Starbucks' effort to go more upscale, at a time when third-wave, hip (and often expensive) coffee shops are increasingly popular. And the company is in the midst of a massive expansion plan, per this Eater
article: Starbucks plans open between 500 and 1,000 cafes that exclusively sell Reserve coffees.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
